The Friends of the Temple Public Library Used Book Sale is held semi-annually - in February and prior to Labor Day. More than 45,000 books are presorted into over 90 categories and displayed in a roomy, comfortable setting on the Library’s 3rd floor. Most books are $1.00-$2.00 and children’s books and media are less. Cash, check or charge is accepted for payment.
Book donations make the sales possible and account for 95% of the sale inventory. Donations are accepted year-round and can be taken to the circulation desk at the Library.
Volunteers to work the sale are always needed and welcome. To volunteer, e-mail the friends at: friendsoftemplelibrary@gmail.com
Members of the Friends are invited to a preview night prior to the sale opening. To become a member of the Friends, complete the membership form, print, and mail with your check to:

Friends of The Temple Public Library was founded in 1995 by a group of community members who recognized the need for a local organization dedicated to helping homeless individuals. Since then, we have grown into a thriving nonprofit, serving hundreds of individuals each year.
